I am so pleased to share the incredible Pixie books within my Psychotherapy sessions.
Erica Richmond, Author, is an amazing author who brings forward a new perspective on situations that we often experience in silence and are left feeling unheard and isolated. The Pixie books help to create a new perspective on anxiety and reclaiming the strength that is held within, but often not uncovered.

I have shared these stories with my adult clients struggling with grief, self awareness, self advocacy to create a sense of hope in their lives. I highly recommend you check them out!!!

Thank you to everyone who works so hard in the Agriculture industry!!!

Have you thanked a farmer today? 🍽

🌾 The celebration for Ontario Agriculture Week kicks off today! 🚜

This week is about recognizing the passion and commitment farmers put into raising livestock 🐄, tending orchards 🍎, planting fields 🌱, and harvesting crops 🌽.

It’s about tipping our cap to the truck drivers 🚛, millers, processors ⚙️, retailers, and chefs 👩‍🍳 who all play a role in moving food from farm to table 🍽️.

And it’s about showcasing the abundance of food, fibre, fuel and flowers produced right here at home 🇨🇦 .
